About Alicia
Alicia Cunningham is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career worries, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life transitions.
Alicia focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. She invites straightforward conversation about what is not working and what a person wants instead. Sessions look at coping skills, communication patterns, and ways to rebuild confidence after difficult experiences.
She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches shape how she looks at relationship and intimacy problems.
In a typical session Alicia listens, asks clear questions, and suggests exercises to try between meetings. She encourages small experiments - new ways to talk, set limits, or manage worry - that can change how daily life feels.
Her style is direct and practical, aimed at people who want concrete change rather than long, abstract discussion. Alicia also offers coaching-style support for career or life transitions when that fits a client's goals.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Alicia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose values-based actions. That approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone feels stuck making changes. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down thinking and behavior patterns, and to teach concrete skills for mood, sleep, and worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alicia will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. She treats the selection as collaborative and adjusts techniques based on what helps in real life.
